NEW: French media is shutting down social media rumors that French President Emmanuel Macron was caught with a bag of cocaine during a trip to Ukraine.

The moment was caught during a train ride from Poland to Ukraine when reporters entered the room.

Macron was meeting with the Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Social media users are speculating that Macron was caught with a bag of cocaine, and some are suggesting that Merz was concealing a coke straw or spoon.

French media outlet Liberation is now rushing to defend the leaders, claiming there is "no evidence" to support the claims.

The outlet is suggesting that the item Macron grabbed was a handkerchief, and the item Merz had was a "stirrer."

Any other suggestion is a "conspiracy theory," according to the French outlet.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence...

This is a burden of proof fliparoo. These people claim to be our leaders and use that as moral justification to steal from us to fund their operations.

The burden of proof is on them to show they are not under the influence of addictive substances, bribery, blackmail, or other things that compromise this leadership and the claims they make.

People are quite justified to assume the worst until shown otherwise, and I’d say the burden of proving otherwise in this power imbalance should be a high bar indeed.
